Congrats Kaylip

So I think I'm 11dpo. I have a horrible cold and have had loads of creamy cm since 5dpo. AF should be due in 3 or 4 days, usually I have cramps and sore boobs by now but nothing yet! Hoping these are good signs...

Good luck winterwolf x

Thanks guys I'm not getting my hopes up though. I always think I'm pregnant haha. Mum made sure I knew all about ovulation/EWCM/luteal phases etc. from the time I first got my period, so I've always been hyper-aware of when I ovulate... it's stressful!! I wish I was blissfully unaware enough get pregnant unexpectedly like so many women!

I think I am out. Has some pink bleeding today and cramping after 5 days of brown spotting. The most bizarre cycle ever to happen to me ...ever. I guess the flu has been the culprit. I never knew that illness could change your cycle so drastically. Wishing everyone else good luck. I guess I will be moving on to cycle 16 with much sadness. It's been a crap week. Over and out , Alexis x

Congrats to all with BFPs already this month!! FX for the next cycle for others!

Thank you so much for this thread, so much information - I've learnt so much reading through it.

I am hoping for a BFP this month, but don't know when I'm going to test. I have super irregular cycles, have never managed to get a smiley on the ovulation test but blood test showed I was ovulating. I travelled last month and I think my ovulation was delayed so I'm guessing I'm about 11DPO - had two BFNs over the weekend. I'm on CD45 (last month was 43 and the one before was 51 )

I'm away on the weekend, not sure whether to test before I go or wait until after and just try and forget about it...if AF hasn't arrived.

Having lots of symptoms but not sure if I'm just hoping and they are in my head..main weird one is painful armpits since Saturday (approx 9DPO) but today glands in my neck are up so maybe I'm just coming down with something. Hard not to convince myself I am pregnant haha!!

Alexis, I'm so sorry. Flu can be so nasty. Hope things start to pick up for you.

Fingers crossed for you mcdreaming xx

Hi ladies!

This is the first time I've been in anything like this, but thought I'd join as I have been reading so many breads, and thought that this would be a good place to offload any stresses to people who understand the process and won't think I'm losing my mind! (Although it feels like it already)! I am analysing everything 🤦🏻*♀️ But I have to realise that it's hard to make sense of what changes are normal for my body and what ones are in line with my dreadful shift pattern! Currently on night shifts, which obviously throw your body out of whack anyway but so hard not to convince yourself it's a potential lreganany rather than a messed up body clock!!

Just trying to be more relaxed but failing 😂
Is it normal to get like this?

Hi K89

Yep sorry to say that second guessing every twinge or tired day is pretty common in this game. But this forum has helped me loads to offload and rant when needed....or sometimes have a little scream lol. Welcome to the rollercoaster of TTC. Support is always here when you need it x

 

[Wilson14]

AF due tomorrow and can feel pains low down, didn't enter a date this month as pretty sure it's another BFN. Good luck to the rest of you and congratulations to everyone with BFPs. Maybe one day it will be me but I very much doubt it.

 

[WinterWolf]

In the same boat as you Wilson. Felt hopeful yesterday but have had loads of cramps today! Think I'm out. Stay positive!!

 

[Driftawaybex]

I’m on 4 or 5dpo and it’s dragging so much!! I’m driving myself insane, literally all I’m thinking about from the second I wake up to the second I go to bed. This is the first month we’ve used ovulation tests and tracked it, I didn’t realise how much it would consume me! Driving myself mental! Good luck to everyone else on this journey xx

 

[mcdreaming]

I’m feeling the same today Wilson. I’ve ran out of pregnancy tests - I’m going to try and hold out until Monday to test (if AF hasn’t arrived). Got a girls weekend so going to try and relax, although I’m sure I know what the main topic of convo will be ��

 

[millielaura]

I'm out lol af came full flow on mothers day ! Xx

I've got tests but not going to I've tested too early so many times before on the day AF due or the day after and then she's just turned up late so can't do it to myself again this month. But it is doing my head in!!!!

 

[xMillie]

I'm out lol af came full flow on mothers day ! Xx

Sorry Millie, that’s a real kick in teeth.

Fingers crossed for your next cycle xx

 

[mcdreaming]

Sorry to hear that Millie - that sucks.

I had a BFN today, don't know why I had the urge to test mid afternoon when I had not held for long at all, not sure why I did it! Guessing I'm DPO 13 so if I was pregnant it would have shown BFP by now.

Just want AF to arrive now so I can start again!

 

[Rokitqueen]

Hi, af arrived . First af following cp so fingers crossed for next month. Fingers crossed for everyone x
